Protection For Malaria and Dengue Fever -> Wear long pants and sleeves at dawn and dusk-> Use mosquito repellent containing DEET-> Use a permethrin impregnated mosquito net-> If you are prone to being bitten, lean towards accommodation that can be sealed e.g air-con with no slatted windows nor open eaves.-> Watch out for rooms with bucket showers/toilets.
